Took a Linksys router home for my parents, had it in the checked luggage. No problems until I unpacked the suitcase. There was a disemboweled router along with a note from FEMA that the router was not dangerous, and not to worry. What worry about an agency that can't tell a cheap router from something more dangerous? And of course, the router no longer worked. Good luck with this. (I'd suggest carrying a lawyers phone number).

From all the information they give on their website, it sounds like there is no way to ever stop the alarm should you screw up. You could take out the batteries, but would that reset the alarm? Would it remember you screwed up even if the batteries are removed and if you put the batteries back in, would the alarm immediately go off again?

This item can do nothing but lead to trouble down the road. The people who designed it are nitwits who think it is cute. The people who promote it (deals.woot) are morons. The few who might buy it are less than intelligent.

Are you fing kidding me? What kind of freakin moron would even think this is is "remotely" funny in today's environment? would you also think it's funny to yell fire in a theater or call a bomb threat in to a nursing home? I hope your perceived originality gets you a visit by Homeland security- jerkoffs

@exit82: OMG everyone in my office would die of laughter and they build buildings, roads and bridges. Knowing my staff they would probably be finding places to hide it in the office to scare the unsuspecting.

@jimvee: You should look at the clocky alarm clock then, it has a snooze button but if you don't hit the snooze within the user set time limit clocky will run away while still sounding off. it also has a very non-conventional alarm which is good if you tend to sleep through your alarm after a few months of use.

@imtheotherguy
thanks for the info. I don't need anything that extreme - just something functional with a large display and big buttons. everything seems to be a tiny box with tiny buttons that I fumble with, or some crazy contraption designed to wake people who might sleep thru a nuclear attack. I'll keep looking.....

oh believe me I have a sense of humor- in fact I'm quite seriously considering the squirrel underpants- but ya know what would really be funny? how bout you guys slapping your leg here- get one then have your little sister or grandma take a camera and film you while you try to get it into your local federal building inside your Bob the builder backpack?- Then post the link on YouTube for us old farts here tay?

@adingostolemybaby: nope, not this one. This is a real product. It's great for people who need a little extra motivation to wake up in the morning... Not for me however, as i would probably end up throwing it across the room. :D

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
